1. Measurement Modes
Press the button briefly to cycle through the four measurement modes:
Overview of the four measurement modes available on the water flow meter.
- Flow Mode (AUTO): Measures real-time water flow rate (e.g., L/MIN or GAL/MIN).
Flow Mode (AUTO) showing real-time water flow rate.
- Consumption Mode: Measures single water consumption (e.g., L or GAL). If inactive for over 30 seconds, data will reset upon reactivation.
Consumption Mode displaying single water usage.
- AVG Mode: Displays the 7-day average water consumption (e.g., L/D or GAL/D).
AVG Mode showing 7-day average water consumption.
- Total Mode: Displays total water consumption (e.g., L or GAL).
Total Mode displaying total accumulated water consumption.
2. Unit Conversion (Liters/Gallons)
- In AUTO Mode, press and hold the button for 3 seconds to switch between Liters (L) and Gallons (GAL) for all modes.
3. Resetting Data
- In Consumption Mode, AVG Mode, or Total Mode, press and hold the button for 3 seconds to reset the displayed data for that specific mode.
4. Manual Calibration
Manual calibration can be performed to fine-tune the meter's accuracy, especially after long-term use.
Steps for manual calibration to adjust flow accuracy.
- Switch the meter to Total Mode.
- Press and hold the button for 10 seconds.
- The display will show a calibration value, which can be adjusted within a range of -30% to +30%. Use brief presses to adjust the value.
- Release the button to save the calibration.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the meter with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or unresponsive, replace the CR2032 (3V) battery as described in the "Battery Installation" section.
- Storage: If storing the meter for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Winterization: In freezing conditions, disconnect the meter from the faucet and hose, drain any water, and store indoors to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
- No Display / Dim Display:
- Check if the battery is correctly installed.
- Replace the CR2032 battery.
- Ensure the device is not in auto-hibernate mode (activate water flow or press the button).
- Inaccurate Readings:
- Perform manual calibration as described in the "Operating Instructions" section.
- Ensure the water flow rate is within the specified working range (1-40 L/min).
- Check for any obstructions in the water path or within the meter.
- Leaks at Connections:
- Ensure all connections are hand-tight.
- Check the rubber washers (gaskets) in the connectors for proper seating and damage. Replace if necessary.
- Consider using Teflon tape on threaded connections if leaks persist.
